Finding published research articles about Korean English language learners can be challenging. On this page we aim to assist you in your search.
There are a number of ELT journals published in Korea, many publish online as well as in hardcopy. We list links further below on this page.
Of course we invite you to review KOTESOL's own publications. Following these three, we list a number of other societies' journals. Most of the articles available through these links are presented in English (particularly the more recent papers). Then we list some graduate schools' own journals. Finally, you can search google scholar, sometimes there are papers available for free download from there. Also, visit your nearest national university or major private university -- many will allow you to access their e-journal holdings from within their library.
Many of the papers in the journals below, plus many master's and doctoral theses, can also be found through the RISS search engine, principally those papers completed in Korea (RISS통합검색) but also a number of overseas databases (example, SCOPUS, 해외DB통합검색). Some papers will be directly accessible through RISS, for others you will have to pursue other avenues (such as library collections or pay-to-view). Most Korean university libraries will grant temporary access to non-students, you can access many articles through their online collections.
